If you accidentally post something sensitive that you want to keep private, don't edit the post, just use "delete" or "delete & re-draft" instead.

Editing has a safety feature to prevent bait & switch abuse tactics: when a post is edited, people will still be able to browse all previous versions of it by clicking on the "edited" label.

However, this also means if you edit out something private, people will be able to see it by browsing previous versions. Deletion prevents this
